Disney Interactive and Sumthing Else Music Works have come together to release the soundtrack to the action-adventure runner game based on the franchise of the same name, TRON Run/r. The game, release earlier this year and available on PS4, XBox One and Steam, features a completely new score composed by Giorgio Moroder and Raney Shockne, and remixes by Autechre, Bibio, Darkstar, patten, Plaid and Rusko.
If you don’t recognize the name, Giorgio Moroder is an Italian record producer, songwriter and DJ who, at age 76, is credited with pioneering synth disco and electronic music. He credited with writing songs performed by some of the biggest names in music such as David Bowie, Janet Jackson, Blondie and Donna Summer and is the founder of the former Musicland Studios in Munich where bands such as Queen and Led Zepplin recorded. In terms of video games, he’s produced themes such as Grand Theft Auto III and Scarface: The World Is Yours, among others.
“If you go back to the sound of original electro disco in the ’70s, Giorgio is right at the heart of it. He’s been pushing electronic music his whole career. We wanted to nod to the first film as well as the later incarnations of the series.” – Christopher Nicholls, TRON Run/r Executive Producer
The 14-track complete album can be purchased at Sumthing Else for $9.99. You can learn more about the game on their website, and more about composer Giorgio Moroder including his discography and his history with electronic music and more on his personal site.
